WATCH: Rep. Thanedar questions Mullin on Homeland Security budget

Published | Video Starts at 02:13

I understand that you have quite an enormous amount of shares in companies that hold DHS contracts. Are you prioritizing giving contracts to companies you hold shares in or to companies with political ties to your boss? That's not accurate. I had to sell every bit of stock I had before I was confirmed. So I owe. No, I have no stock. Secretary Mullen, I'm very concerned that your department is promoting white nationalist, anti immigrant sentiments on official social media accounts. (02:13–02:19)
